  • What do I use a hammer drill on over a conventional drill?

    • +1

      hammer drills can drill into harder stuff like concrete and brick with a masonry bit

      • Can't you just use a masonry bit on a regular drill though?

        • +2

          you can but it will suck, try drilling into older 70s bricks will no hammer function lol

        • lol yeah masonry bit with no drill function will take 10 years to drill in

      This is a quick guide on drills
      https://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/drills-vs-hammer-d…
      If you can't be bothered reading..
      Imagine while you’re drilling, someone is smacking the back of the drill with a hammer to help drive the bit further into the work. This is pretty much what is happening when you use a hammer drill, only the hammer hits are fast and furious.

  • Masonry jobs

  • Total noob here, does anyone know what it means when it says “skin only”?

    • Skin only = No charger or battery included

    • Just the drill, no battery.

      • How much is battery / charger normall?

        • +1

          I’d say that’s where this deal gets people, I’m looking around for a battery/ charger combo anywhere from $80-$150

        • +1

          It’s good for people like me, I have a normal drill and impact driver that I bought as a combo with batteries and charger.
          So if I need a hammer drill I can just buy this on it’s own.
          It’s not worth getting this if you don’t have any other stuff.
          I would recommend just buying a hammer drill + impact driver combo with batteries + charger.
          If I could go back I would purchase the hammer drill + impact driver combo instead of the Normal drill combo.
          Oh well

        • @Hirolol: what the difference between a normal drill anc an impact driver?

        • @voldemort:
          Impact driver can drive screws in even without pre drilling.
          Not recommended in some cases.

          Instead of just spinning like a normal drill it’s kind of like a hitting motion but it happens many times per second.

          If you look on YouTube they explain with demonstrations

  • I've bought this back when the deal was posted and its an absolute deal imo.

    Brushless Drill + Hammer Drill + 2 batteries, 1 charger and a tool box.

    • Was looking at that as well, as its an overseas model XPH12Z (which is dhp484z au version) not sure if its got local warranty?

    • XPH12Z is oversea model of DHP484. DHP484 is a higher grade model. Main advantages over DHP483 is much higher top rpm (2,000 vs 1,500) and slightly more torque, it is more robust built too.
      With higher top rpm it is easier to get neat holes when drilling into wood (and faster).
      DHP484 in my opinion has well balanced design packed with good power and relatively light weight compare to top model DHP481 (1.6kg vs 2.6kg) which suite most DIY / building tasks. DHP481 is closer to a corded drill replacement which needs a strong man to operate (around 3.5kg with battery).
      There are reports about XHP12Z / DHP484 gearbox issue of stuck permanently to hammer mode and there is no DIY fix as far as I know. You might need to put this into consideration too.

  • This is a drill from the Makita Sub-compact range, it only has 40nm torque, because of its size, its ideally suited to wood and precision work or on ceilings where lightweight comes in handy.
    If it has the hammer function I guess it should do masonry ok. The main selling point of this tool is that it's sized as the 12-14v tools yet retains the 18v system!
    I'd be definitely getting this if i didn't already have 2 makita drills already.

    If you pay about $60 more, you can actually get the DHP481 top of the range 125nm torque skin from ebay.
    It's heavier and larger but it packs a lot more juice if you're doing heavy duty drilling.

    • Thanks will check it out

  • The link goes to a normal drill now the hammer drill
